Critical thinking is an essential skill in the age of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). GenAI affords dialectic argumentation, which provides opportunities for the development of critical thinking in argumentation (CTA). However, there was limited empirical evidence of how learners specifically utilize GenAI to construct argumentation.…

This article explores the integration of Red River Métis cultural identity into pedagogy, emphasizing the benefits for diverse students in the Canadian context. Using personal narratives and historical connections, it highlights the implications of land-based learning and critical historical analysis to infuse Indigenous perspectives into the…

As current challenges become more complex, bringing together people from different backgrounds to solve multifaceted problems has become crucial in the STEM field. There is growing recognition of the need to explicitly teach students the skills necessary to conduct inter- and transdisciplinary science, including communication, collaboration,…

Group awareness is of critical relevance for collaborative learning and interaction and is thus often referred to in CSCL research. However, the concept is only vaguely defined as some kind of understanding or perception of characteristics of learning partners or the collaborating group. Most CSCL research activities concerned with group awareness…

Purpose: Is there a specific way of thinking about organisational learning in Nordic countries? Are concepts such as organisational learning and learning organisations imported, or do they emerge with specific meanings from more local discourses? Beyond that, are they supported by specific learning theories? The purpose of this paper is to trace…

In this article, we explore space, time, and mattering in relation to empathy and nature by examining videos created by 10 undergraduate education majors attending university in Helsinki. Completed as part of a cross-curricular project between art and music students, the video artworks were inspired by a garden theme. Using arts-based,…

This paper presents a didactic proposal designed through the active methodology of collaborative learning to analyse the effect of the use of numerical simulation of a mathematical model on the learning of differential equations in engineering students. A mathematical model of a vibrating string was used, and the Octave Online platform was used…

In recent years, the importance of the pedagogical and physical design of new learning environments has grown. Around the world, innovative pedagogy has been implemented to address, among other things, the development of social skills. In this study, we examined an educational program that is an applied example of the constructivist approach whose…

Given the instrumental value of good collaborations for societal flourishing, educating for good collaborators (viz., agents who have the motivation and ability to collaborate with others) should be one of the fundamental goals of contemporary education. Still, fostering the growth of dispositions needed for successful collaborations is not…

Mining problems and exploring rules are the key problems in the learning process, and also the difficulties in education big data. Therefore, taking learning behavior as the research objective, this study demonstrates the collaborative training method of multi view learning interaction process driven by big data, so as to realize the tendency…

Management students conduct much of their coursework in teams, as they should. We teach them where teams can fail and how teams can become high performing. But too often, the team experience for students is solely about logistics and coordination. Students often miss the rich benefits of using their self-awareness and social intelligence to…

Background: Different types of assessments influence learning and learning behaviour. Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) reward partial knowledge and encourage surface learning, while open-ended questions (OEQs) promote deeper learning. Currently, MCQs is part of team-based learning (TBL) curriculum, and it is challenging to implement OEQs as…

The purpose of this study aimed to analyze the process of online collaborative problem solving (CPS) via brain-to-brain synchrony (BS) at the problem-understanding and problem-solving stages. Aiming to obtain additional insights than traditional approaches (survey and observation), BS refers to the synchronization of brain activity between two or…

The author follows a new materialist approach to consider the informal and collaborative creative gathering called jamming as creative play, and she makes a case for the jam as a transformative event of genuine intrasubjective dialogue. She uses Karen Barad's theory of agential realism and Hans-Georg Gadamer's ethics of play to argue for the jam…

In a thriving education system, students experience learning that prepares them as the vital keepers of a just and democratic society. Teachers as professionals and experts, not cogs in a machine, are essential to this goal. "Sparks Into Fire" offers design principles for facilitating effective professional learning in which teachers are…
